Dropped NE down the ridge of Beinn Bhreac. At about 400m elevation the terrain was getting boulder so we dropped E for the marked path.

The path in the upper reaches is an erosion to the rock – a bit loose and a bit of an eyesore. Further down the glen the theme is very much mud soup (the YH warden said he’d lost a welly boot in the deeper gloop and had to hop back to Lochranza).

Gleann Easan Biorach:

Probably should have held to the higher ground for longer rather than drop to the “path”. Still, a nice glen visually and some interesting views back up to Caisteal Abhail.

Back to Caisteal Abhail:

Another Goldie passed over Torr an Nead an Eoin as we descended to Lochranza.

Quickly back down to Lochranza and the Youth Hostel.

An enjoyable walk – the north of Arran away from the Corbetts is quite entertaining. A cracking start to 2015’s island campaign. 🙂
